In the  2006-2007 season the PA Center-Pedes “the Bugs” changed from a two tiered program to a travel only program due to player attrition. Only A-Team players participated in the season end party and 2006-2007 team trials. The Bugs participated in an expanded North East Sled Hockey League (NESHL), featuring November and March Tournaments around the four “Sunday a month” game days in Connecticut.The 2006-2007 PA Center-Pedes had a nearly full roster and participated in other “non-NESHL” events. Although an Adult team, half the Bugs roster was under age 20.

WE also welcomed back our two 2006 Paralympians Mike Hallman and James Connelly (Paralympian Tim Jones was not on the PA Center-Pedes roster at this point) with a Bronze Medal from Torino; congratulations Boys!!! The Bugs also had five players who are rostered on the “Under-20” (USA National Developmental) team!!!PA Center-Pedes Archived News
